I've not have time to check in and read for more than a week now so really behind with my reading.
Dorothy; so sorry to hear about your torn rotator cuff
Lotti - that cheery little friend is soooooo cute. Please keep those photos coming. Have a great holiday. Minou is sweet too
Fingers crossed for the bb day Ritzy
Not surprised you are pooped Terrie - I'm tired just reading what you have on your to-do-list
Heather, those blocks look like a lot of fun. I don't know what is worse sick children or sick husband!
Luann those Guild quilts quilting is very, very nice, you're obviously taking to your new toy like a duck to water. As always it's practise, practise, practise isn't it?
Geneva I'm so sorry to hear that Sybil is waiting for an L board; she is a very expensive lady-in-waiting. I've decided next time my Bernina needs a new board it isn't going to have one. Like your quilt - that is a lovely one for a baby and one that will grow with her. Great mug rug - have you serged the edge?
Congratulations, Rosemary! Fabulous news and so well deserved. Have a nice time away resting on your laurels ::
Annis, I made a quilt years ago like the one you have drawn in your program - it was before I had a digital camera so no pics sadly but the pattern was called Trellis and I have later seen it called Cherry because it was made with cherry fabric and red and green "trellis". It's a great pattern and very versatile. Love your hexies. Isn't batik hard to hand sew? Could you post a link to your website please?
Cats are dangerous animals by the sound of it Wendy - stick to chicks, Congratulation on your new bathroom.
Margerita, great quilts. Great-granddaughter will love hers.
I'm finally getting some FMQ done; haven't done any since May so feel rather rusty but my old Bernina 801 is smooth and it is now quite relaxing. Working on a fruity sampler - the final of 4 samplers.
I'm also progressing on my digitizing challenge and learning a lot along the way. Had a scary moment yesterday when a top thread popped during a stitch out of a design and I couldn't get the thread end out of the machine. I had had problems the other day with the same thread breaking but thought I needed a new needle but it was the thread that was the problem. DH came to the rescue just when I was ready to try to get the cover off the machine. He got the thread out and the rest of that spool of thread is now in my thread bin - pyh.
Have a great Sunday and thanks to you all for sharing here. Great retreat!

I think this should be a standard item supplied with any sewing machine (of course they'd relabel it Bernina and multiply the price by ten) :blink:

My, oh my - I'm not safe around any sewing machine right now! Just FMQ the teflon baking sheet I have taped to the extension table of the machine to my sampler :sick:
Guess I need to find my seam ripper and could you pass that bowl of Lindor please :P Couldn't understand why I suddenly couldn't push the sandwich around :S
Ah well needed a coffee break anyway :lol:
Hope you lot are doing better!

Marianne, the batik hexies are machine sewn. I rarely do any hand sewing except for the back of the binding and some occasional applique. My website is www.amc-quilts.com.
I had one of those days a couple weeks ago. I pinned the binding to the back on one of my wall hangings and was sewing in the ditch on the front, removing the pins before I got to them. Somehow I missed a pin and the head got stuck in the feed dogs. It was also in the fabric so there was no way to get it out without removing my seam guide which was taped to the extension table, the needle, the presser foot, and the stitch plate which had 2 screws, then putting it all back together. Then as I continued sewing I was repositioning and somehow another pin from somewhere else on the quilt back ended up under the needle!

I bumped into Lorchen at the show. This photo may explain why you've not seen much of her recently :S
:lol: :lol:
Here we are excuse my ugly mug
this is Lorchens quilt
Lea McComas was showing as well and got third in pictorial quilts for this amazing quilt
My favourite quilt was this landscape, so effective and the colours are a lot brighter than my photo
There was a beautiful Sedona Star shown by Sandra Goff and Marian Mathews does anyone know them
and of course our Rosemary's miniature quilt which was commended

Oh Wendy, here is the biggest cuddle ever, thank you SO much for the photo's! I realised after I had posted my quilt to the show, that I hadn't taken a photo, if my quilt had got lost I would have nothing to remember it by. Then you did this for me - you are a true STAR. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I had no intention of entering this quilt in a competition but... I had watched a TQS show where Bonnie Browning was encouraging everyone to enter quilt shows, with the logic that there would not be quilt shows without quilts. I used Bonnie's analogy to encourage all my quilting friends to show their beautiful quilts in shows. After I had finished this quilt my friends told me I HAD to enter it in a show. The hardest part was thinking up a title for my quilt, as I had used patterns from Elizabethan pattern books for the applique I used the most obvious title. Wendy you are the nicest, truest friend anyone could have, you took time and effort for me and you have made my day. One day I may be able to do something wonderful for you, but until then THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Love Pam
